Summary |
When we think about aging, many people worry about the physical changes and focus on trying to keep their weight down and wrinkles at bay, but at some point people start to realize that they should also be concerned about the changes in our cognitive function. Just as there are some really good holistic formulas to help stave off the outward signs of aging, there are also supplements available that can help our brains stay young and active.
Endurance Plus is a Homeopathic product marketed by Biomed Comm, a Seattle based biotechnology company that specializes in using homeopathic recombinant human growth hormone, which is also known as HrhGH. This product is advertised as being able augment memory and focus, as well as increase control appetite, manage hormonal fluctuations, augment endurance and boost muscle tone. Let’s take a look at the formula used in Endurance Plus to see exactly what it has to offer for those consumers looking to enhance brain health.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Endurance Plus is clearly a homeopathic formula, and these kinds of products have become very popular in recent years, but very few people really know what Homeopathy actually is. This system of medicine uses extremely diluted versions of active substances to address conditions and issues ranging from the flu to arthritis. Homeopathic Recombinant Human Igf 1 is used in this formula, and it is actually a homeopathic version of the Human Growth Hormone, a naturally occurring element created by the pituitary gland.
From birth on the Human Growth Hormone plays a vital role in growth, but as we age, its levels decline, and many marketers suggest that these reduced level of HGH result in a low sex drive, weight gain, lost muscle tone and reduced cognitive function. Conversely, they suggest that supplementation with elements, like Homeopathic Recombinant Human Igf 1 can turn back the hands of time, thereby making people look and feel younger.
To date, the only viable way to increase HGH is through injections of actual Human Growth Hormone, but these are very expensive and have a lot of side effects. While elements, like Homeopathic Recombinant Human Igf 1m are promoted as being equally effective, there is no research that supports this claim.

Endurance Plus’ use of Recombinant Human Igf 1 does not appear to be able to directly affect HGH production, or cognitive function. However, extracts, like Alpha GPC and Phosphatidylserine, have been shown in clinical studies to have a direct affect on alertness, memory and overall cognitive function. In fact, Alpha GPC has been shown to boost the body’s production of Choline, which is needed to maintain and increase both short and long term memory. In some studies, Alpha GPC has been shown to be able to reverse memory loss, which was a rather amazing outcome.
Phosphatidylserine, on the other hand, has an innate ability to enhance the body’s ability to gather, store and release neurotransmitters, which has a direct and potent affect on cognitive function. It also helps the brain absorb nutrients more effectively in order to optimize brain health. The same abilities have not been connected with homeopathic Recombinant Human Igf 1,regardless of what this developer or others claim to the contrary.

| Final Thoughts |
|
The fact that Endurance Plus is advertised as being able to help users not only increase alertness, memory and cognitive function, but also control appetite, manage hormonal fluctuations, augment endurance and boost muscle tone has made it initially popular with consumers. But according to our research, former users have reported on independent websites that it did not deliver the results they expected. In fact, many of them reported that they saw little difference in their memory, alertness or cognitive function.
Given this formula’s total reliance upon Recombinant Human Igf 1, consumer disappointment is not a surprise. In fact, according to our research, elements, like Alpha GPC and Phosphatidylserine, have shown much better results in research studies and with consumers. Individuals who use formulas that contain Alpha GPC and Phosphatidylserinem often report that they feel more alert and focused, as well as seeing big improvements in their short and long term memory. Thus, it may be in consumers’ best interest to continue their product search by looking for a formula that contains such ingredients, instead of relying on Endurance Plus’s lackluster formula to fulfill their needs.
